word up ( meaning)
Hello folks.
I know that word up is a versatile word and it's meaning depends on different regions.. But in a movie I came across this expression as in
A: hey there's this big banquet for my university nomination, wanna come?
B: no I have something to do
A: there's an open bar there
B: word up!
I guess it's an enthusiastic exclamation but I'm not sure.
Isn't it like saying: sweet!..'hot dog! Like when we express enthusiasm?
Thank you in advance

Your analysis of its being a positive, enthusiastic response is correct. My assumption is that he's saying something like "That changes things. I'll be there."
